Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

It’s Summer in the Jungle, and one of our favorite things to do is hunt baby tarpon with fly rods. Here’s Dr. Dan Newman with one of five “juvenile tarpon” he caught and released this morning on a half day trip to the Black Lagoon. I’m looking at some New Spots for small tarpon like this, jungle tarpon, if you don’t mind the ride down south. There’s no-one around, the weather is stabilizing slowly and the fishing should just get better. I’ll be watching for Giants on Three Sisters and a few other summertime tarpon haunts. The snook fishing was hot just before this last front came in, and now that it’s moving through we can look for some improvement. A little steady weather and a sea breeze in the morning could mean excellent snook fishing in the days ahead. Let’s keep a weather eye on the Giants and the Three Sisters. (I’m starting to think about those reds in September and October, too. Those balmy days on the beaches down south, November, even, on Highland Point and Lostman’s River.)
